The Rocket has first dibs on all mom hugging. Same goes for daughters.
I have that SI! It's in my massive pile of shit that I've saved for some reason.
Someone tell the 4-letter that radio and TV stations on the other side of the Mississippi start with a 'K' not a 'W.'
Idiots.
@1976 Oakland Raiders: I have to go down to my dad's in the near future to go through the stacks and stacks of SI's I saved while living there. I've had a subscription since I was 11 ()1990 and only recently (last 3 or 4 years) decided to start throwing old issues away. there are probably 12-15 years of old mags at my dad's.
You know how I know that's an old SI cover?
Blue road uniforms.
@Jefferson Short Bus: because it says 1982 on the cover?
@The Fan's Attic: This from the guy who could only make out a mischevious smile in the Korver pic...
@The Fan's Attic: I made that out just fine. I was merely reminiscing about road jerseys that aren't gray.
Did someone else mention this?
[sports.espn.go.com]
Bottom of the list of updated sports games...I would totally play that for the Wii.
*marks down 2 losses for the Cards*
Thanks a lot, Will.
@strong like bull smart like tractor: well, i could only make out the two and deduced 1982 and deducing do-ability requires a little more nuance than that.
since, this is the last thread of the day, i just want to say that dude on survivor last night, the one who got voted off, is the biggest motherfucking idiot of all time.
@Yostal: wow. nice catch.
I watched the video of the old snoopy game and snoopy sports has five events...here's what i could come up with for the DS equivalents
Sack Race --> Steelers Photo Finish
Boot Throwing --> Flip Cup w/ Kyle Orton
Pogo --> SuperTrampolineBasketball Games
Overboard --> Viking Armada
Pile of Pizza --> Pizza Throwing w/ Red Sox Nation
River Jump --> ????
Pretty funny that the best headline SI could come up with for the World Series was... "The World Series." Reminds me very much of this one:

And this one:

And, while we're at it...

@Yostal: You're with me, party game.

That was truly epic.
@44 in a Row: if i were going to give up the immunity necklace i would want at a minimum a beej. i could have seen that guy settling for rub and tug. but, as berman would JEEEZZUS.
@The Fan's Attic: *would say.
@Yostal:
Being the mayor of DUAN and likely cover subject, you should be concerned about jinx-related calamities.
Lonnie Smith's slide must be blocking out the "Return to Glory" banner.
The Mariners will place this poster next to Kurt Cobain's for inspiration.

Whichever console brings this back will get my money:
+ Watch video
Troll!!! Troll!! Troll!
damn I drank a lot of beer and smoked a lot of weed to this game.
@Slothrop:
Troll actually released minutes into part 2:
+ Watch video
Holy Crap.. Flyers are leading 2-1. anyone else watching this?
That was quick. Crosby ties it up
Nibbles eating anyone else's comments today
(Pens tie it up 2-2)
/opens door, pokes head in
Hello? Hmm. Very very quiet. I'll pop back in when I'm less sober...
/withdraws, closes door
Remember, that "World Series" took place during the heyday of generic food.
Well it's too quiet here...I'll be watching the Pens-Flyers game and checking in once in a while...
anyone else playing mariokart?
fuck rainbow road
No wii here... Unfortunately
I think Vernon Wells just broke his wrist making a catch and held on to the ball. Damn.
Damn you people! Get to DUAN. SOME people are sequestering themselves at home tonight in preparation for a 6am drive back to Illinois.
@PeteJayhawk: Some are just here because they have beer in the fridge, the wife is working late, and Lumberg caught them and I have to work the weekend tomorrow.
F'ing boss of my boss
That Malkin shorthanded goal was the best "Fuck you" play I've ever seen.
@Le Légende de Vincent Tremblay: Especially after the hit Richards put on him... I don't even like Malkin but the guy can play
Ok, I'm less sober now. Is there anything going on in here yet?
And Pete, I'm almost always sequestered at home. Yeah, I'm old.
slow night...
@Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: Us friday night stay-at-home losers
The Cubs already won, thus increasing my chances of having a good evening by 100%.
@Le Légende de Vincent Tremblay: Damn it, I'm missing a good one. I saw the first two goals at the bar, but now I'm in a place that does not have cable. I guess it's the gamecast for me.
@Peter Cavan: It has been an excellent game. Maybe i'm just used to those 2-1 NW games with the Wild, Avs and Canucks
Evening, DUAN.
I'm pretty sure I just saw Leitch in the stands on the Brewers/Cards telecast.
You know I wasn't going to go see Speed Racer until Erin E-surance told me too.
@HockeyMountain: Well thpppppt to you, Mr. Staying at home is great - I have a choice of alcohol, snackage, and 100+ channels to choose from, and all in the comfort of my underwear. Can't do that in a bar (at least and stay on the outside of the jail cell...)
@longefellowes: strange, I'm sitting around with alcohol, snackage, and 100+ channels in the comfort of your underwear too
small world
@HockeyMountain: i'd do almost anything erin e-surance told me to do
@longefellowes: Hey i'm with you.. boos + Game(s) + no wife is a golden night.
I was being facetious before
@Mayor McRib: Yeah, they automatically break the pattern of lose first game, win second game, and lose third game of series for four straight series. That was unbelievable and surprising that never made it into the press.
I'm sure the "MARTY" chants are starting in Pittsburgh.
Hey Pittsburgh
Just because Winnepeg no longer has a team doesn't mean you can steal their playoff tradition. At least change the colors or something
@HockeyMountain: Since I'm not at home watching the game, what was Winnipeg's playoff tradition?
Winnipeg had a zamboni driver die in a snowstorm on his way to a playoff game in the 80's (i think). The next game they did a "Whiteout" where everyone dressed in white to honor him.
They kept the tradition and fans wore all white for every playoff game. For some reason Pittsburgh fans are wearing all white now.
(PHX actually kept the tradition alive, but they never make the playoffs)
@HockeyMountain: everyone dressed like the snowstorm that killed him?
@HockeyMountain: Gotcha. And thanks. I didn't know that's how that started. They did it in DC a few times in the '90s. This year they switched to red.
Yeah, white isn't even one of the Penguins' colors really.
Apparently I was wrong about the Zamboni driver (urban legend i guess) but they did start the tradition
@SuperFrankieLampard: yeah i always thought that was weird, but apparently it was one of those hockey old wives tale. They did it just to piss Calgary off apparently.
I can respect that
@Encouraging Referee Pitman: I think it's especially weird since NHL teams wear their colors at home. It looks like their supporting the Flyers
evening all...
A shitty weekend weather-wise? What else is new?
